DE is perpendicular to AC
GF is perpendicular to AX
so DE is parallel to GF
In triangle DEC & GFC
angle DEC is congruent to triangle GFC
Angle EDC is congruent to FGC ( corresponding angles)
so the triangles are similar by AA test of similarity
Therefore EC/FC = ED/FG = DC/GC ratios of corresponding sides are equal
But EC = AC ( diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)

Therefore (AC+FC)/FC = (ED+FG)/FG ( by componendo)
